Several years back, I went to the store at the beginning of summer to get some foam pool noodles for the pool. I couldn’t find them anywhere, not even Walmart.
The next spring, they were everywhere, but they all included a tag or sticker that read “Not to be inserted rectally.”
So we had to go a summer without pool noodles so the government regulators could protect us against some butt stuff some weirdo tried.

The government’s job is to regulate sex toys so that all insertables have a flared end. MAGA wants to end all sex toy regulation. We should definitely protest this, and wave our dildos proudly.

How you doin’?

Are you seriously asking that about a 20/24 yo couple getting into bed for the entire night? Were you ever that age?
If sex was off the table, I wouldn’t even go through with it. What’s the point? I’d just rather sleep alone, and avoid the entire night of blue balls.

How’s the view with your head in the sand?
- Comment on Amazon boss tells staff AI means their jobs are at risk in coming years 4 weeks ago:
Between AI and Robotics, we will likely have a permanently unemployed segment of close to 50%, or even more, within the next decade.
Not everyone will be able to be retrained to be a robotics engineer or AI programmer, and many, many jobs that are considered entry-level will disappear. Imagine a world where most fast food and retail workers are unemployed.
When 40% of America is unemployed, the government will be faced with 2 options - Universal Basic Income, or reducing the population by 40%. Which solution will each party embrace, and how will they accomplish their objectives?

I’m a huge fan of Yamaha guitars. Great workmanship at a very affordable price, and if you buy used you can get them super cheap. My best guitar, which plays and sounds as good as any expensive gourmet brands, was only $102 at auction. I even bought another one as a backup. Used Yamaha guitars are the best deal only the market.

Not the hockey trophy.
It’s one of those big 40 oz insulated cups with a handle, lid, and straw. Put in some ice and cold water, and it will stay cold for 24 hours. They were made famous by the Stanley Tool company. The Stanley ones are about $45, but now there are lots of cheaper knockoffs. I got mine at Aldi for $13.
They’ve become an entire industry in themselves. They even make accessories for them. I saw a short news story on the wildly decorated house of a woman who designed a special purse that had two compartments, one for her stuff, and one for her big tumbler. She made them in all sorts of color combinations, and had them all displayed on shelves in her basement office. They’ve become extremely popular, and have made her rich.
Get one. They work great. I carry mine with me everywhere I go. When I leave a fast food place, I always fill my empty cup with ice, and dump it in my tumbler when I get in the car.
I’ll bet that’s way more about the “Stanley Cup” tumbler than you thought existed.

- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 4 weeks ago:
My favorite beverage is a glass of ice water. Friends are always offering a beer or a soda, and all I want is a tall glass of ice water.
Now I carry a big Stanley cup of ice water everywhere I go.
I know two people who refuse to drink water, and even say that they HATE water.

American Revolution. French Revolution. Iranian Revolution.
Just a few very violent, and successful, revolutions.

Right after Covid ended, the nurses in the NYC hospitals decided that after being so heroic for over a year, they deserved raises, and some other benefits. The hospitals flat-out refused anything.
The nurses went on strike. Within 72 hours, every single one of their demands was met, including a fat raise.
Unions and strikes work.

- Comment on Why do fancy cars look fancy and cheap cars don't? Can't you just slap a Lamborghini-style chassis onto a lawnmower engine if you want? 5 weeks ago:
They have “kit cars,” which are all the parts you need to build a fancy vehicle on the chassis and drive train of a normal car. When I was young, Ford Pintos were common chassis for kit cars.
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 5 weeks ago:
Police forces deliberately filter out intelligent people because A) the job is mostly really boring, and smart people don’t like boring jobs, and 2) Smart people won’t put up with the open racism, corruption, and general bullshit of cops.
Ever notice on the news, that the local police chief always sounds like a swaggering, arrogant dumbass? It’s because he was promoted from a professional gene pool that was compromised from the start. He’s was just the biggest arrogant swaggering dumbass out of big pool of arrogant swaggering dumbasses.
- Comment on The Los Angeles Police Department shot an Australian reporter with a rubber bullet while she was live on TV. Zero provocation. 5 weeks ago:
LA cops are notorious assholes. He could hardly wait to get home and pull it up the clip and show everybody: “Hey everybody! Look what Daddy did at work today! I shot an unarmed journalist for doing her job! Funny, right?”
Guaranteed he’s emailing the clip to everyone he knows.
